Just updated my Cygwin. If I use cp to copy a file, in this case an
executable, I get "This program cannot be run in DOS mode" when I try to
run the copied file.
The copied file also now differs from the original.
$ ls -l /bin/sum.exe
-rwxr-x---+ 1 sam Users 26624 Dec 21 02:32 /bin/sum.exe
$ cp /bin/sum.exe copysum.exe
$ ls -l copysum.exe
-rwxr-x--- 1 sam None 26713 Dec 22 14:35 copysum.exe
$ cmp /bin/sum.exe copysum.exe
/bin/sum.exe copysum.exe differ: char 119, line 1
$ ./copysum.exe
This program cannot be run in DOS mode.
Anybody else experiencing this? I have tested this out on three different
computers that have been updated today, all produce the same results. On a
box thats running the older cygwin, cp copies the files exactly and I have
no trouble running them.
Thanks,
Sam
